When I Dream of Christmas
When I dream of Christmas,
I dream of wondrous things,
of mistletoe and holly,
and joy the season brings.
Of snowy fields, and rosy cheeks,
sleds careening fast and sleek,
houses lighted—festive, gay,
preparing for that special day—
When family gathers ‘round the tree,
anticipating what will be
in Christmas boxes tied up tight—
colorful wrappings shining bright.
Sharing love and laughter there,
while grandpa snoozes in his chair—
dinner served with all the trimmings
as we await New Year beginnings.
Children scurried off to bed—
on goose-down pillows rest their head,
saying prayers for blessings given,
thanking Him, our Lord in Heaven.
Grandma reading ‘bout the One,
Jesus Christ, God’s only Son,
enduring pain and sins of man—
King of Kings, the great “I AM.”
Yes, when I dream of Christmas,
I dream of wondrous things…

I will be so happy when Christmas is over. I never remember ever having a Merry Christmas. There were always fights arguments, drinking, abusive behaviour etc. I remember as a child watching all my cousins opening up presents and each year I received a shoe box with clothes pins in it, wrapped in kleenix tissues and a face drawn on each clothes pin. They were my dolls for the year. While my cousins received, ice skates, dolls, bicycles and everything they dreamed and wanted. I was always left in a corner, and I hated Christmas then and I still hate it. Sorry for those of you that love it, you all must have had family that loved you. I didn’t feel the love then and I don’t feel it now. I’ll be glad going into the hospital for surgery and preparing for the surgery. At least I’ll be unconscious most of the time with heavy drugs, so it can come and go and that makes me happy. But, I do wish everyone here a Merry Christmas, especially Baby Jesus, where I do get a cupcake, light a candle and sing Happy Birthday to Him, and give the cupcake to anyone that doesn’t have anything to eat.

After everything did happen in those years…I realized…better is to put all my expectations in GOD’s will…

Whether you are alone, with your family, or your family is far away… think of the many CHRISTmas gatherings
that you have had and be blessed that you had them… some people never had them… memories make you
smile and feel loved. Call, write, email keep in touch with your loved ones… it makes a difference to you both.
LOVE knows no bounds…
Have a blessed CHRISTmas everyone… Elizabeth W.

How charming. What beautiful words. This Christmas will be the best with my new little grand daughter. I am already envisioning it in my heart.
